Insights
Hardware and Software Requirements
Please note that this is a change from our HW/SW specs from Insights 2021.10. Insights 2021.10 requires a single Windows machine, while Insights 2023.4 requires a Windows machine and a Linux machine with RHEL.
In 2021.10, the Insights Windows machine ran Docker which hosted the Looker Linux container. Starting with Windows 2022, the driver used to nest the Linux containers in Windows OS (called lcow) is not supported anymore by Microsoft for enterprise applications. As a result, we had to change our deployment architecture to require two machines - one Windows machine to run the UiPath Insights components, and a Linux machine to run the Looker container. With this change, enterprise support is available from OS vendors for the components needed to run UiPath products. The supported versions of Linux OS are the same that Automation Suite supports.
Insights isn't supported on FIPS 140-2 enabled host machines.
These requirements are only applicable to the machine where Insights is installed.

SQL Machine | 2019 |
- Insights requires the SQL Server to have support for columnstore index and .json functions.
- For Azure SQL, ensure the database is S3 tier or above.
- Make sure the compatibility level for Insights database is set to 150 or higher (
"SELECT compatibility_level from sys.databases WHERE name = '{dbName}'
). In most cases, the default settings meet this requirement. For more information, refer to View or Change the Compatibility level of a Database - SQL Server. - You have to use SSH into the Insights Linux server, to run specific commands. Make sure you have the proper rights and authorizations beforehand.
